Summer Support Your Parks at Pillsbury State Park
A little rain in the forecast—and even a club deep-sea fishing trip happening the same day—wasn’t enough to keep GSARA members away from Pillsbury State Park for the Summer 2026 POTA Support Your Parks Weekend.
Support Your Parks – GSARA Spring Meetup Recap
If there’s one thing we proved this weekend, it’s this: ham radio operators will show up… even when the weather and propagation are both actively trying to ruin the party.
And honestly? That’s exactly what made it awesome.
I created a new POTA park and activated it.
Many of us long for the days when many parks had not been activated-- ever, by anyone— and some of us wish we could have our names listed as the first person to activate a park. It wasn’t that long ago.

Parks, People, and POTA: A Day to Remember with the Granite State Amateur Radio Association
The Granite State Amateur Radio Association (GSARA) recently hosted an unforgettable Parks on the Air (POTA) Meetup, and the airwaves were abuzz with excitement. With 26 members in attendance, the event was not just a gathering; it was a celebration of the spirit that amateur radio embodies - camaraderie, exploration, and the thrill of communication. Set against the serene backdrop of one of our local parks, we unfolded our antennas, tuned our transceivers, and set out to make waves, quite literally! Here's a recap of the fun we had and the memories we created.
